Smallfish Lake

Smallfish Lake is a medium-sized (593 acre) fishing lake in the east block of Porcupine Hills Provincial Park.

There is a nice campground at the lake, with a boat launch, fish-filleting shack, and outhouses. The campsites are quite large and private with lots of trees. Reservations are required at the campground, and there is no cell service so plan ahead and book online or by phone before you get to the lake.

The lake is relatively shallow and has Yellow Perch and Northern Pike.

There are several other lakes in the nearby area to explore including Townsend Lake, Isbister Lake, Woody Lake, Spirit Lake, and Elbow Lake.

This lake has been personally visited by myself, Matthew Siemens.

I really liked this lake. It was very pretty, with some of the nicest big campsites I've seen. Well spaced out, and everything was spotless.

Porcupine Hills Provincial Park

Porcupine Hills Provincial Park is Saskatchewan's newest provincial park. It was created in 2018 by combining several existing Provincial Recreation Sites as well as Saginas Lake from Hudson Bay Regional Park.

The park is in a remote area of the province with very limit cell reception and few services. The park is split into two blocks an East and West block with quite a distance between them.

Many of the lakes have boat launches and are popular fishing destinations. There are also several campgrounds and a lodge within the park. McBride Lake has the only private campground in the park and is worth a visit! There are provincial campgrounds at Parr Hill Lake, Townsend Lake, Smallfish Lake, and Isbister Lake. Moose Range Lodge is at Townsend Lake and has rental cabins and other services.
